While it’s no camper, like the two HFODs from earlier this week, one could certainly turn this 1961 Willys FC-170 currently for sale on Hemmings.com into a camper. Just slap a box over the bed, fill those gas cans and head out into the wilderness. From the seller’s description:

Desert truck. Never seen snow. This truck has a rebuilt engine (original) with about 100 miles on it. The only rot is in the roof gutters where I let it sit outside and collect leaves. Pin holes in the roof at the gutters. NO RUST WHATSOEVER IN THE NORMAL PLACES LIKE CAB CORNERS, UNDER THE BATTERY ETC. Runs, drives, stops great. All gears work. Interior all original and not bad except sagging headlner. This is an amazing, original ROT FREE truck that can be driven cross country tomorrow. I have owned for 20 years and bought it from the Calif desert. Stored inside last 10 years and driven rarely.

What do you get when you cross a 1957 Willys wagon with a 2005 Wrangler Rubicon? Find out on Casey’s ride page!

During the Woodward Dream Cruise earlier this month, Milan Dragway offered a free test and tune session to Dream Cruise participants. We sent Dennis Kreish out there to capture some of the action, and the footage he delivered did not disappoint. The ’41 Willys is absurd…

A number of us here at CarDomain who watch the Newest Rides ticker every day have been noticing that the number of vintage rides getting added to the site appears to be creeping up lately. Just in the last 24 hours, I was stoked to find that Steve’s ’67 GTO, Ash’s ’73 Datsun, Alex’s ’70 AMC Javelin, Sean’s ’76 Ferrari 308 GTB, Chris’s ’66 Mustang fastback, Kyle’s ’79 Honda Civic, Brian’s big bad ’72 Buick, and Dan’s incredible stake-sided ’51 Willys dump truck, among many others, were added to our community. Even our 600,000th ride last week was an old Rambler! While it’ll definitely always be true that CarDomain has something for everybody, and a ton of awesome late-model rides continue to be added every day as well, it seems that old-school rides are perhaps making inroads at a faster clip than before. Have you noticed?

Ernest McIntyre of Gasser Magazine was one of the celeb appearances slated for this year’s Viva, and the supercharged Willys he brought with him was a thoroughly badass example of the solid-axle, jacked-in-front gasser style that was the hot set-up for drag racing in the early 60′s. Ernest also shoots and produces the annual Viva Las Vegas DVD—last year’s can be had here. Watch for my CarDomain shout-out in the upcoming VLV 11 DVD, and get a better look at the Willys’ incredible powerplant after the jump!
